With massive restrictions, which you oddly failed to mention.

Quote:pump action and self loading shotguns holding no more than 5 shells
Again, only for certain people, not just anyone can own these. Something, again, that you oddly failed to mention.
Quote:Primary producers, farm workers, firearm dealers, firearm safety officers, collectors and clay target shooters can own functional Category C firearms.
Why did you fail to mention this restriction Fred?
Quote:non-semi auto center fire rifles
So rifles with technology over 150 years old.
Quote:semi auto rim fire rifles holding 10 rounds or less
Yes, very important to make sure a maniac doesn't get a hold of a high capacity .22lr!

Odd, you seem to be making a sincere go of it.
Quote:The point I keep making is that confiscation does not require registration, and registration does not cause confiscation.
The counter point being that registration makes confiscation infinitely easier, which is indisputable. Also, those asking for registration are also in favor, or lean towards at the very least, confiscation. Again, you're asking people to trust polticiians who deserve no trust. You're stating, please register all your firearms, but don't worry that this list will ever be used to confiscate your private property. Please ignore what's happening in CA and other deep blue states, we'll never do that here. Trust us. There isn't an eyeroll emoji sufficient to address this point of yours.
Quote:The slipper slope argument is a logical fallacy.
Except it's not as real world events have proven. If I had zero examples of this occurring you'd have a point. As I do have examples you do not.
Quote:there is correlation because anyplace that would support confiscation woulod also support registartion, but that does not prove that every person who supports registration also supports confiscation.
Ahh, you're starting to get it, Fred! How is a lawful gun owner to discern between the two? Also, today's politician is not necessarily tomorrow's politician. Why would I hand political power to an agency that may turn on me in two years?
Quote:You only have to be informed to know this. theer are tons of polls and studies that show a lot more people supprt registration than support confiscation.
Sure. I'm not in favor of making it easier for the ones who support confiscation. My Constitutional rights should not be subject to the vagaries of the prevailing political wind.
Quote:they are two different issues. teh only people who refuse to acknowledge this are the ones brainwashed by the NRA.
Again, calm down with the "brainwashing" BS. You get so used to arguing with Lucie you start tarring everyone who disagrees with you with the same brush. This, coupled with the intellectual dishonesty you display when you can't address a point, is your biggest failing.
